Dear Cycling thread:
I left my story off on Friday not quite reaching work. Well, I did reach work, very late. I tossed the bike into the back, by our attic space stair/doorway. Due to a sudden emergecy, my sister dropped off her car for me to use, while she went about 200 miles out of town to help my parents. So, I drove home. This weekend was spent slaving away in the hot sun, and working on school projects, so I did no have time to fix the bike. This morning, I drove to work, stopped off at my bike shop, which is just across the street from my office, and bought a new chain. I went to class, then ran home to drop off the car and school accessories. I then caught the buss and competely forgot my camel back, hat, helmet and gloves. After work, I affixed the new chan onto the bike, and bent the gear shifter back into place. I pocket the broken chain for use at a later date, and I begin the trek home. I spend the first mile cursing my lack of hat/helmet. I spend the last nine miles panting and breathng hard as I go up hill in lare curves sending me two miles out of my way to the north, and south of where I am heading. A ten minute bike ride takes 25 minutes, and man am I out of shape, and it pisses me off. My goals for the rest of the month, bike a lot more and get into shape. I should go buy a larger camelback, so I can take it to school, with my books in it.
